AUDIENCE:
Law Enforcement Officers
DESCRIPTION:
Use of force is the biggest exposure law enforcement professionals face in today’s world. The demand for nationwide police accountability and reform is at the forefront of every news cast; politicians find themselves jockeying for position based on their stance on police reform and accountability. Organizations are being held accountable, and the outcomes are alarming. Take a proactive approach; arm yourself with the knowledge and tools to be the tip of the spear on use of force training and review. It is vital that you as a law enforcement officer understand and implement the current standards (practices) for using force, also know how your force will be micro-analyzed and the importance of how you report your force. Join us for this interactive and engaging training where attendees will break into groups and strategize together.
